Fig. 8. Integrated wing length vs integrated total corticosterone (CORT) for the first 24 h of treatment with dermal patches containing CORT and patches with vehicle only. Integrated measures were used to incorporate both rate and direction of changes. Individuals from both treatment and control groups are plotted together. N=18, 20, 20 for D1–3, 4–6 and 7–9, respectively (D, days post-hatching). Trend lines were added for visualization.
